Chapter 950 Yes, Mr. Shen!

On the 25th of the first lunar month, Shen Yi finished all the preparations in Jiankang, bid farewell to his family that morning, and boarded the carriage going north.

There were quite a few people who came to see him off, and even Zhao Changping, Minister of the Household Department, sent Shen Yi out of the city in person. After a long goodbye, he reluctantly waved goodbye.

As Da Jiuqing, Zhao Shangshu's words and deeds will be seen by other people in Jiankang City. Now he comes out to send Shen Yi off, no doubt, he is standing for Shen Yi.

In other words, it is the platform for the Huai'an Army.

Because there were a lot of people seeing off, Shen Yi's carriage was able to leave Jiankang for ten miles until noon. Fortunately, it was not hot at this time, and he could continue on his way without resting at noon.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Fuxian from Yushitai walked with Shen Yi, but he couldn't bear the bumps of the carriage, so he went out in a sedan chair.

In fact, the vast majority of civil officials in this era go out, no matter how far they travel, most of them go out in sedan chairs, unless they are extremely poor officials who cannot afford to hire bearers.

Civil servants like Shen Yi who go out either on horseback or by car are in the minority, and it can even be said that they are heterogeneous.

Although Shen Yi is not very interested in taking a sedan chair, this way of traveling is still necessary in this era.

At the very least, a large number of bearers can be used to support the family.

Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, it was still somewhat faster than that of the sedan chair, so after the two of them walked together for a while, Shen Yi disliked Yuan Tan for walking slowly.

While eating at noon, he said hello to Vice Xian Yuan, and in the afternoon, he took his entourage and set out on the road without waiting for the military supervisor.

Although Yuan Tan wanted to follow Shen Yi, but after all, the bearer didn't allow it, so Shen Yi left him behind in the afternoon.

On the second day, seeing that Yuan Tan had been thrown away, Shen Yi simply didn't take the carriage, and directly rode on the horse and ran to Huai'an Mansion.

The distance of four hundred miles, even if the speed of riding a horse is not fast, it only takes two or three days. By the morning of the 29th of the first month, Shen Yi has rushed to Huai'an Mansion and stationed in the palace of the imperial envoy.

Because he had greeted the Huai'an army in advance, when Shen Yi arrived at the imperial envoy's office, several main generals of the Huai'an army were already waiting at the gate of the imperial envoy's office.

When Shen Yi's horse stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Envoy's Xingyuan, the crowd lined up on both sides, and respectfully bowed to Shen Yi: "The last general Ling Su, pay homage to Shen Gong!"

"The last general Xue Wei..."

"Su Ding..."

A total of six generals, Ling Su with Liu Mingyuan and Zhang Meng, Su Ding with Xue Wei and Wan Zhong.

Because Wan Zhong made a lot of contributions in the Battle of the East China Sea, although his position level has not yet been raised, his status in the Huai'an Army has been raised a lot.

Master Shen jumped off his mount, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said: "There is no need to be polite, let's go in and talk."

Soon, the crowd arrived at the main hall of the imperial envoy, and Shen Yi sat down on the main seat by himself, and then the generals sat on his left and right hands.

On the left are Ling Su and three people, and on the right are Su Ding and three people.

After taking his seat, Shen Yi took a sip of tea, glanced at everyone, and said lightly, "I haven't seen you for over a month, hello everyone."

The enthroned generals bowed their heads and cupped their fists: "Say hello to Mr. Shen."

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.

"Okay, all of you are in your heart today, I guess you didn't come to listen to my greetings. I know what you want to hear, so I won't keep it secret, and just get straight to the point."

Master Shen put down the teacup, and said calmly: "The imperial court has already approved the paperwork for rewarding meritorious service at the end of last year, but the Ministry of War is still going through the process. Originally, I wanted to wait in Jiankang and bring the paperwork and documents from the Ministry of War. The imperial edict came back together, but after waiting for a few days, I couldn't wait any longer, so I rushed back early."

He looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Everyone, as well as the Huai'an army, the imperial court and the Ministry of War will reward you for your merits."

When the six people heard the words, their expressions lifted, they stood up one after another, bowed their heads to Shen Yi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

"Don't thank me."

Shen Yi waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, then he paused, and continued: "Last year, I mentioned to you that this year the Huai'an Army will increase its troops by around [-], and the imperial court has also approved this matter."

Master Shen paused for a moment, and then said flatly: "In addition to the 2 recruit quota, after the Shangyuan Festival, I went to the Ministry of War again, and the Ministry of War finally nodded in agreement."

"The [-] new recruits are included in the establishment of the Ministry of War, which means..."

Shen Yi's face was calm: "The generals of the four guards will be added."

The predecessor of the Huai'an Army was the Coastal Capital Division, and the Coastal Capital Division's five guards had a total of five commanders.

The number of these five command envoys has always been fixed. Even after the Huai'an Army expanded its army from 1 to 3, the number of five command envoys remained unchanged.

But now, the establishment of the four guards has been added, that is to say, after the reorganization of the Huai'an Army, four new commanders will be added!

Four commanders, four commanders, eight commanders and twenty thousand households!
This is a real benefit, and it is a tangible benefit.

There are six people sitting here, and they can't help but feel agitated.

Although most of them have taken the posts of commanders, they take high positions with low ranks. For example, Zhang Meng and Liu Mingyuan are now at the rank of commanders.

Wanzhong is the grade of a thousand households!
Now that the Huai'an army has so many generals vacant at once, not only will the hundreds of households with senior qualifications below have a way out, but the six of them will also have a high probability of being promoted.

Wan Zhong, in particular, was short of breath.

Because of this, there is a high probability that his Qianhu position will move up a bit!

Everyone got up again and bowed to Shen Yi.

"Thank you Mr. Shen!"

"Don't thank me."

Master Shen shook his head slightly.He smiled and said, "Thanks should also be Xie Chaoting."

Speaking of this, Master Shen motioned for everyone to sit down again, then looked at Ling Su, and said: "General Ling, the recruitment of 1 recruits is not a trivial matter. In my opinion, it is still according to the distribution of the east and west lines. With General Su, each will receive a quota of [-] people, recruit them as soon as possible, and then put them into training."

Ling Su immediately lowered his head and said, "The general obeys!"

Su Ding also bowed his head and saluted: "The last general obeys!"

Master Shen gave a "hmm" and said, "It was agreed in advance that you can recruit soldiers in Huai'an, or Lianshui County, Xiangshui County, or you can go to Zhejiang to recruit soldiers, but this time the Ministry of War has regulations."

Shen Yi said solemnly: "You are not allowed to go to Taizhou Prefecture, Wenzhou Prefecture to recruit soldiers."

After saying this, he looked at Ling Su, smiled and said, "Does General Ling have any objections?"

Ling Su and Xue Wei are both from Taizhou Prefecture, to be precise, from Linhai County, Taizhou Prefecture. Until now, many generals in the Huai'an Army are from Linhai.

After all, the foundation of the anti-Japanese army was actually the Linhaiwei of Taizhou Prefecture.

Ling Su quickly squeezed out a smile, bowed his head slightly and said, "Since it is the request of the Ministry of War, the general will naturally have no objections. Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the [-] recruits on the western front will be recruited within three months."

Shen Yi looked at Su Ding again.

Su Ding was born in Mingzhou Wei, and also a native of Mingzhou Prefecture.

Mingzhou Prefecture...is also in Zhejiang!
Hearing Shen Yi say that he could go to Zhejiang to recruit troops, the Soviet general turned his eyes and bowed his head respectfully: "Mr. Shen, the eastern front is also within three months, and the recruitment is complete."

Shen Yi nodded, then stretched his waist, and said: "Okay, that's all for the time being, and the rest is to practice well, but besides the business, there is another business that I want to tell you."

Seeing the gazes of the six people all looking at him, Master Shen stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "This year, the imperial court sent a supervising army down. He is the Deputy Capital Censor of Yushitai, with a high position and authority."

"He may patrol the army at any time."

"That's the imperial court's supervisor, and I can't restrain it. If he finds out that something is wrong, especially slack training, deduction of military pay, or other violations of military regulations and disciplines."

Master Shen said with his hands behind his back: "It's also hard for me to keep you guys."

The six people looked at each other without speaking.

It was Xue Wei who was the most upright. He looked at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. Shen, why did the court suddenly send a supervising army down? Didn't we fight well in Huai'an last year?"

"We have a lot of soldiers in Huai'an, so what's so special about the imperial court sending a supervising army down?"

Shen Yi glanced at Xue Wei, and then said lightly: "You don't need to think too much, if there is nothing wrong with you, even if he wants to trouble you, I will not agree."

Speaking of this, Master Shen coughed: "Also, in front of the supervising army, don't call him Mr. Shen, it just makes people laugh."

The six people clasped their fists at the same time, speaking in unison.

"Yes, Mr. Shen!"
